Abstract

Based on the philosophical foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) known as “Qi monism,” this paper systematically explores the clinical application value of the theory of ascending and descending Qi in Cognitive Impairment with Depression (CID). By reviewing classical medical texts and modern research, we analyze the intrinsic relationship between the etiology and pathogenesis of CID and dysregulation of Qi movement. A three-dimensional treatment model—centered on the “Middle Jiao as Pivot, Liver-Lung as Peripheral Wheel, Heart-Kidney as Root”—is proposed to establish a syndrome differentiation and treatment system, offering new therapeutic insights for clinical practice.
